Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

See commentary on John 12:37-41.


John 12:38

_ _ That the saying of Esaias ... might be fulfilled — This unbelief did not at all set aside the purposes of God, but, on the contrary, fulfilled them.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on John 12:37-41.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

John 12:38

The arm of the Lord — The power of God manifested by Christ, in his preaching, miracles, and work of redemption. Isaiah 53:1.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

John 12:38

That the saying of Esaias the prophet might be fulfilled, which he spake, Lord, who hath believed our report? and to whom hath the (h) arm of the Lord been revealed?

(h) The arm of the Lord is the gospel, which is the power of God to salvation to all that believe, and therefore the arm of the Lord is not revealed to those whose hearts the Lord has not opened.
